(attorney Richard V. Stevens) am a former active duty military lawyer (JAG). My
perspectives and advice, therefore, are based upon my experience as military
defense lawyer and as a civilian criminal defense lawyer practicing exclusively
in the area of military law and military justice. This blog addresses issues in
military law, military justice, military discipline, military defense,
court-martial practice, the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) and other
military and/or legal topics. Nothing posted in this blog should be substituted
for legal advice in any particular case. If you seek legal advice for a
particular case, please contact The Law Offices of Richard V. Stevens for a
free consultation. These military defense law offices are located in the
Northern Florida/Georgia areas, but the military defense representation is
worldwide – when necessary, the attorneys travel to wherever the client is
stationed around the world.
